Small Works - Big Impressions
The Wildlife Experience in Parker, Colorado
November 17, 2007 – January 1, 2008

The Society of Animal Artists returns to The Wildlife Experience along with a premier event: the First Annual Society of Animal Artists' Small Works Exhibition and Sale, entitled Small Works, Big Impressions. The Wildlife Experience has hosted the SAA's prestigious annual touring exhibition, Art and the Animal, on several occasions since opening in 2002. This year, we will be hosting the new Society of Animal Artists Small Works Exhibition and Sale during the holiday season. This show gives visitors and collectors alike to view and purchase works of art from members of the Society of Animal Artists. The quality will be comparable to that displayed in the Art and the Animal exhibition, yet all works will be on a much smaller scale. Seasoned collectors and new collectors alike will have the opportunity to purchase works by their favorite artists at reasonable prices. A substantial percentage of the proceeds from this sale will benefit the work and missions of The Wildlife Experience and the Society of Animal Artists.

Founded in 1860, the Philadelphia Sketch Club is America’s oldest artists club. Exhibits and interest in fine art photography have existed at the Sketch Club from its earliest days. One of its founders, John L. Gihon, pursued photography as an art form as did other notable members to include Thomas Eakins, George B. Wood, William Shewell Ellis and Richard Dooner. Lectures at the Club’s monthly meeting have also focused on photography with the most notable being by Professor Eadweard Muybridge who did experimental photography of action subjects.
